Biography
I chose a career in medicine because it combined my love of science with the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people's lives. My mother was a laboratory technologist, and spending time with her at work helped me become comfortable from a young age in a hospital environment. As my interests grew, I knew I wanted a career focused on helping others. I ultimately chose gynecologic oncology because it allows me to build lasting relationships with patients while guiding them through some of the most challenging moments of their lives.
I am motivated daily by helping patients navigate a gynecologic cancer diagnosis. I want every patient to know they are not facing the journey alone. It’s a privilege to care for patients and their families during such an important time, and I strive to provide support, education and guidance every step of the way.
My approach to care is centered on compassion, honesty, communication and teamwork. I believe every patient deserves to feel heard, respected and fully informed. During visits, I take time to listen, answer questions and develop treatment plans that align with each patient’s goals, values and quality of life. I believe the best outcomes happen when patients and providers work together as partners.
I provide comprehensive care from diagnosis through treatment and follow-up, helping patients feel supported throughout their cancer journey.
I am board certified in gynecologic oncology and obstetrics and gynecology. I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of ovarian, uterine, cervical, vulvar and other rare gynecologic cancers, as well as complex gynecologic conditions.
My clinical interests include:
- Minimally invasive and robotic surgery
- Complex pelvic surgery
- Chemotherapy management
- Survivorship care
- Multidisciplinary cancer treatment
My career has included clinical care, research, leadership and medical education. After earning my degree from Colby College, I worked at Harvard Medical School’s Brain Imaging Laboratory and Schizophrenia Research Center before attending the University of Vermont College of Medicine. I completed my obstetrics and gynecology residency through the National Capital Consortium’s Uniformed Services Residency Program and was actively involved in research, earning several scientific and research awards.
Following fellowship training in gynecologic oncology at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, I served in a variety of leadership roles throughout my Navy career, including chief of gynecologic oncology, director of the gynecologic robotics program and residency program director. I retired from the U.S. Navy in 2020 and continued caring for patients as a gynecologic oncologist before joining Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in 2026.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and four children. We love camping, hiking and swimming together. I also have a long history of volunteering with Scouting and look forward to becoming involved again in the Winston-Salem community.
Thank you for trusting me with your care. I look forward to getting to know you, supporting you and working together throughout your health journey.
